Re: Best wifi gargoyle Router

I repurposed an old HP computer to pfSense as the main router and now use Tp-link C7 C5 as an access point, running the latest Gargoyle firmware. It is very stable and very happy with this new network, which allows me to have Vlans so I can separate the less secured devices, IoT, on my network from ...

Re: Don't get the maximum speed, even half of this.

I have the same issue with my refurbished Archer C7 V5 running Gargoyle 1.12.0, attached to a refurbished Netgear (CM700) cable modem. I get 240+ Mbps from my ISP when tested without the Gargoyle router. The speed slows down significantly to less than half (avg = 105Mbps) with the Gargoyle router. M...

Re: My refurbished Archer C7 v5 unstable w/ 1.12.0

Hello, I'm happy with my refurbished Archer C7 V5, running Gargoyle 1.11.0. It is stable after almost two weeks. I got it for a great price from Amazon. I got lucky because this is a brand new router that has been labeled "refurbished." There are no marks or any signs that it was used. The...

Re: Issues with web monitoring & recent web searches

Thanks all for the speedy replies :!: According to Lantis, "Web searches, no. Just not possible with encrypted packets," is it because of my VPN or Google chrome now encrypts all web traffic?

Issues with web monitoring & recent web searches

Hello, My Gargoyle LAN-Wireless/bridge is working fine except for two minor issues. The web monitoring feature is only monitoring the wireless side of the network. No web monitoring from the LAN side of this hybrid network :oops: :cry: . Also, no historical data for "recent web searches" f...

I don't think you really read my post. I think you quickly gl...

My refurbished Archer C7 v5 unstable w/ 1.12.0

I have been using Gargoyle FW for years on my TP-link (TL-WR1043ND ver 1.8). It is showing its age so I recently purchased a refurbished TP-link Archer C7 V5 on Amazon and subsequently flashed it with 1.12.0. It worked somewhat for a few hours as the AP for my LAN/wireless bridge network. The router...
